West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Roberto Jimenez this summer.

Following the conclusion of Joe Hart's season-long loan deal, new Hammers manager Manuel Pellegrini finds himself in a situation where he only has one senior goalkeeper on his hands.

There are reports that Swansea City stopper Lukasz Fabianski is the Chilean tactician's number one target - despite having an £2m bid rejected already - and that could result in Adrian seeking a move away from the London Stadium during the transfer window.

"I’m waiting to hear [Manuel] Pellegrini’s ideas, and from there will make a decision," the Spaniard radio station Copa Sevilla - via Sport Witness.

"In addition to Pellegrini’s opinion, the contractual situation also influences, if the club want me they should show it with an extension, there is already the president, with who we have to iron out rough edges, that will be seen, West Ham is my second home."

Should Adrian leave then it would appear that Pellegrini is already making plans to bring in an understudy.

According to AS, the Hammers have identified Espanyol's Roberto Jimenez as a transfer target and he is said to be the “leading candidate” to fill the goalkeeping position.

The 32-year-old, who was once on Atletico Madrid's books, joined the Catalan outfit from Olympiacos in 2016 but failed to force his way past Diego Lopez and spent the season just gone on loan at Malaga.
